The blade of the knife using an elastic wire 1 is a blade 4 which makes the wire 1 extending horizontally from its tip part form roughly a triangle of a line curved vertically or a blade which has the wire as a blade formed in a curved line or a straight line so that the knife blade can be deformed to match the shape of the pulp to be cut out. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a knife for cutting fruit as a blade.

Conventionally, knives for cutting fruits include knives and knives that have blades on the periphery of a plane, and slicers that have blades that peel off the skin and are attached to a shaving table or provided with handles. Moreover, there existed a cheese cutter in the cutter which used the wire for the blade (refer FIG. 13). There was a fruit knife bent in an arc shape (see Patent Document 1). There was an egg cutter with a wire (see Patent Document 2). There was a die cutter using a wire (see Patent Document 3).

Conventional knives for cutting fruit have the following problems.
Conventional knives and kitchen knives are provided with blades on a flat surface, so that the cut-out surface of food is basically flat when used normally. For this reason, in order to cut out the fruit pulp, which is almost a sphere, skill is required, such as moving the hands intricately and devising how to cut it, and the work of removing thick skin and thin skin from soft fruits was particularly troublesome and soiled. Fruit knives that can easily remove all fruits such as grapefruit and orange covered with thick and thin skin, and fruits such as kiwi, melon and watermelon with different dimensions covered with thick skin. There is no.
The slicer that peels the skin can be used for fruits with hard pulp, but the fruits cannot be used with soft fruits. The arcuately bent fruit knife cannot be used for fruit with thin skin because it cannot be individually matched to the curved surface of differently sized fruits and the whole pulp cannot be cut out cleanly. In conventional techniques such as cheese cutters, egg cutters, and rhinoceros cutters using wires, the wires are stuck to a support and cannot be used because they do not match the curved surface of the fruit.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

  A blade that forms a substantially triangular curve that bends the wire extending from the tip to the left or right in the vertical direction, or an elastic wire that has a curve or straight line that curves the wire that becomes the blade, is used for the knife blade A wire knife for fruits comprising a blade and a handle, wherein the knife blade can be deformed according to the shape of the fruit to be cut out.

  By using a wire blade that can be deformed according to the shape of the fruit to cut out the knife blade, it is possible to easily cut out only the flesh, leaving the grapefruit and orange thick and thin skin cut in half horizontally beforehand The flesh of kiwi, melon and watermelon with different dimensions can be easily cut out without leaving a thick skin. It is possible to cut out the soft flesh of the fruit, which is an almost spherical body, without leaving it very easily.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(B) The entire edge of the knife is formed with the elastic wire (1), and the end of the knife wire (1) composed of the handle (3) continuous with the blade (4) is connected to the rear part of the handle (3). Secure with stopper (2).
(B) The blade (4) bends the wire (1) extending left and right from the tip in the vertical direction to form a substantially triangular curve that matches the curved surface of the fruit and the thin skin shape.
(C) The handle (3) is composed of a continuous wire (1) bent at a right angle from the knife blade (4), and the entire inside of the knife is a large space surrounded by the wire (1).
(D) If the grip (3), which is the handle (3), is adjusted and gripped firmly, the left and right wires (1) are narrowed to narrow the inner space of the knife and reduce the width of the knife.
The present invention is configured as described above. When this is used, as shown in FIG. 11, the handle (3) of the knife is gripped, and the blade (4) is preliminarily horizontally cut in half. Cut the flesh by placing a knife tip between the thick skin (6) and the flesh. When the knife width is larger than the thin skin width, as shown in FIG. 2, the grip of the handle (3) is adjusted to adjust the knife width. When the knife reaches the bottom of the fruit and stops, pull the knife in parallel and cut the pulp and thin skin.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 5, and FIG. 7, a curved wire or a blade (4) forming a straight line is provided to form the blade (4), and an elastic wire (1). Can be cut into flesh of kiwi, melon and watermelon from the thick skin (6) by using the knife blade (4), and if the knife blade (4) and fruit dimensions are different, the handle (3) The shape of the wire (1) that becomes the blade (4) is adjusted and adjusted so as to match the curved surface of the fruit to be cut and used.

  The knife shown in FIG. 1 is an optimum fruit wire knife for cutting grapefruit or orange pulp. The elastic wire (1) forms the entire knife periphery, is composed of a handle (3) continuous with the blade (4), and the end of the wire (1) is fixed by a stopper (2). The blade (4) bends the wire (1) extending left and right from the tip in the vertical direction to form a substantially triangular curve that matches the curved surface of the fruit and the skin shape, and the handle (3) is perpendicular to the blade (4) of the knife. It consists of a continuous wire (1) that is bent. The entire inside of the knife becomes a large space surrounded by the wire (1), and as shown in FIG. 2, the left and right wires (1) are narrowed when the grip (3), which is the handle (3), is moderately gripped. The inner space of the knife can be narrowed to reduce the width of the knife. As shown in FIG. 11, the flesh is cut by raising a knife tip between the grapefruit or orange thick skin (6) and the flesh. When the knife reaches the bottom of the fruit and pulls it down in parallel, cut the flesh and thin skin. A tightening tool (5) and a handle cover for assisting the operation as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 can be provided.

  The knife shown in FIG. 3 is an optimum fruit wire knife for cutting kiwi pulp. The wire (1), which is the blade (4), is formed into a curved shape, and the handle (3) is formed by the wire (1) that is bent at about 45 degrees from the knife blade (4) and continues. If the dimensions of the fruit are different, as shown in FIG. 4, the grip of the left and right wires (1) as the handle (3) is adjusted to match the curved shape of the wire as the blade (4) with the curved surface of the fruit. As shown at 12, the knife is operated from the back side to the front side between the thick skin (6) and the pulp to cut the pulp.

  The knife shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 is a fruit wire knife that is optimal for cutting the melon and watermelon flesh. The knife shown in FIG. 5 forms a curved shape in which the wire (1), which is the blade (4), is curved, and passes through the wire (1) in which both ends of the knife blade (4) are bent at about 80 degrees, and about 45 It consists of a wire (1) continuous to a handle (3) that bends every time. If the curved surface of the fruit is different, as shown in FIG. 6, the grip of the left and right wires (1) as the handle (3) is adjusted and the curve of the wire (1) as the blade (4) is adjusted to the curved surface of the fruit. Then, cut the pulp by operating the knife from the back side to the front side between the thick skin (6) and the pulp. The knife shown in FIG. 7 is a knife that improves the cutting of the blade (4). The handle (3) is provided with a grip handle, the wire (1), which is the knife blade (4), is straightened, and a thin wire (1) is used to deform the knife blade according to the shape of the fruit to be cut out. A knife that can.
